Prague, Czech Republic
This program examines the dynamic historical, cultural and political life of Central Europe as a whole. Academically rigorous seminar-style courses, international field trips (to Budapest, Krakow, Berlin and Vienna), and attendance at cultural events allow students to explore key issues such as the tragedy of the Holocaust, the nature and impact of the communist system, the hopes and tensions of the European Union, and how coming to terms with the past is reflected in the cultural and art scene we witness today.
